Burglar

This man's name is Ben Park. He broke in to my flat in the South of
Cambridge on Friday 4th February 2005. I had a video camera with
motion detection software set up on my computer. It captured these
images of him.

If you work for a TV company, note that I DO NOT want to be on
your TV programme. I've been asked again and again and I'm not
interested.

The police identified him from the photos, and on 15th February 2005
he was sentenced to 11 months in prison by Cambridge Magistrates'
Court. The police tell me that he is a career burglar and has been in
prison for burglary twice before, and therefore he should have been
dealt with by the Crown Court where he would have received a much
longer sentence.

Update, October 2006: I received an email claiming that in fact it was
only his second conviction, so it was right he was tried in the
Magistrates' Court. I don't know whether the police were right about
it being his third conviction, but I do know they were surprised and
disappointed that he got such a short sentence.

A few news organisations have picked up the story. Here are links to
some articles:
